Colorado Springs Tile Installation

About Our Reliable Colorado Springs Tile Installation Services

Tile installation may sound like a simple task to those who have never tried it before, and it's true that pretty much anyone can attempt it—but getting results that actually look good with a smooth, even surface requires a lot of practice and experience. We often hear from homeowners who got part-way through the work before realizing that they just don't have the skill to get the job done right. Save yourself time, money and a lot of hassle by letting our experienced team handle the project from start to finish.

Our Colorado Springs tile installation services include:

• Flooring Material Removal: We'll start by removing your old floor or backsplash material, whether it's tile or a different type of covering, and get it hauled away.
• Preparing the Subfloor: It's possible that your subfloor won't need any preparation, depending on its condition and the material that was previously installed, but we'll take care of preparation if necessary by installing new underlayment or handling subfloor repairs before moving on to your tile floor installation.
• Planning Layout: If you want great-looking results from your Colorado Springs tile installation, one of the worst things you can do is just choose a random spot and start plopping the pieces down. We'll carefully pre-plan the tile layout before we even start mixing the mortar to ensure it will look right when we're finished.
• Thin-Set Mortar Application: Since thin-set dries very quickly, we'll mix it in small batches and apply one section of mortar and tile at a time. The first step of that process is to cover a segment of the floor with an even layer of thin-set, ridged with the notched side of a trowel.
• Professional Tile Installation: Next, we'll apply thin-set mortar to the back of each piece and lay them down in our predetermined pattern and location.
• Grouting: After the thin-set has dried, we'll apply grout in the grout joints between the pieces and smooth it out evenly, then let it dry and cure. Once dry, we'll wash the pieces to remove excess grout haze and leave a clean surface behind.
• Clean Up and Finishing Touches: Finally, we'll clean up our mess and take care of final tasks, such as replacing baseboards and other trim that may have been temporarily removed to accommodate the Colorado Springs tile installation process.

Our capable Colorado Springs tile installers can handle a wide variety of material options, including:

• Ceramic tile
• Porcelain tile
• Glass tiles
• Natural stone tile
• Mosaic tile

What are the Benefits of Tile Installation in Colorado Springs, CO?

When it comes to the professional installation of tile, you'll reap many benefits. A few standout benefits include:

• Improved aesthetic. A new tile installation project can breathe new life into your existing rooms. Adding a colorful backsplash in the kitchen or replacing old, outdated tiles in the shower will help you enjoy the look of your spaces more.
• Easier maintenance. Tile is one of the easiest materials to maintain. You won't need to vacuum or scrub stains out like you did with carpet, nor will you need to seal, varnish, or refinish like you did with wood. To clean tile floors, all you need to do is sweep and mop! 
• Easier on allergies. If anyone in your household has allergies, replacing carpet floors with tile is a smart choice. Because tile is hypoallergenic and easy to clean, you can experience an overall cleaner household that may reduce sneezing, wheezing, and coughing. 
• Increased property value. Replacing outdated flooring with new large-format tiles or other luxurious tile materials will increase your property value. Prospective buyers see the value in great-looking flooring that's easy to maintain and doesn't need to be repaired.

Is Tile Installation in Colorado Springs Out of Style?

Not by a long shot. Of course, trends for tile color, size, pattern, shape, and texture do come and go, but a new tile installation is never going to go out of style. From kitchen backsplashes to beautiful flooring options, there's always an ideal option for Colorado Springs tile installation that can enhance your personal interior design style and make your room feel fresh and new again. Tile has been popular in Colorado Springs houses for many decades, and its popularity shows no signs of decreasing any time soon.

In fact, tile is one of the most versatile materials there is for floors and backsplashes, and it comes in a wide range of types. From simple, affordable options such as ceramic to more luxurious materials like granite and other natural stones, it's easy to find a luxury look for less, as tile prices start at just $1 per square foot.

Can New Material Be Installed Over an Old Tile Installation?

When it's time for tile installation, Colorado Springs homeowners sometimes ask if we could just do the installation on top of an older tile surface to eliminate the time and hassle of removing the old material. While it's understandable that homeowners want to find ways to reduce how long it takes and, therefore, how much it costs, this type of installation is generally not recommended. It raises the level of the floor and could create a height transition that poses a tripping hazard. However, it is technically possible for floors (not walls) if the right conditions are met:

1. There must be a solid concrete subfloor underneath. The materials in question are really heavy, and putting one heavy layer over another heavy layer may be too heavy for a non-concrete subfloor or floor joists.
2. The existing layer must be undamaged and even, with no cracks, chips or poorly installed pieces of tiles that will compromise the integrity of the new layer—and that's usually not the case for a floor that is being replaced.

Can a New Tile Installation Be Walked On Right Away?

We understand that you may be eager to try out your new flooring immediately, but it's really important to avoid walking on it at all for a full 24 hours. If someone steps on it before the mortar has completely cured, tiles will get pressed down into the soft mortar at the edges or corners, and the surface will dry unevenly. That doesn't just look terrible, it also feels terrible under your feet and can cause you to trip on a raised edge.

How Do I Tell If I Need Tile Repair or a New Installation?

This depends on the level of damage that you experience. The most common issue that homeowners face is crumbling grout lines that need to be removed, cleaned out and replaced (possibly with epoxy grout for better adhesion). Our expert team also uses epoxy to fix small cracks in the overall structure. These are minor problems that repairs can fix.

On the other hand, when you have an older system and experience multiple breakages that are becoming safety issues, it’s time to consider a replacement. Water damage behind shower cement backer boards is common, as well as structural issues in high-traffic areas where the flooring needs to be replaced. For easy reference, see the list below of signs you need a new Colorado Springs tile installation:

• Wall tiles are severely cracked in more than one location 
• Tile flooring is lifted at the corners or sunken
• Tile spacers were not used in installation, and floor tiles are unevenly spaced
• You would like to replace the type of tile you currently have
• Water has crept underneath your tile, and you smell musty odors
